Lip frenulum piercing
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template other
A lip frenulum piercing is a body piercing through the frenulum of either the upper or lower lip. A piercing through the upper lip frenulum (frenulum labii superioris) is sometimes called a "smiley",[1] because it is usually only seen when smiling,[2] or a "scrumper".[1] Similarly, the lower lip frenulum piercing is sometimes referred to as a "frowny".[3] Jewelry is recommended to be worn in the piercing for a short period of time because the risks associated with it are high.[1]
Risks
Gum recession, teeth erosion, and teeth enamel damage are possible problems that can arise from lip frenulum piercings as a result of the piercing jewelry, especially if it is a captive bead ring, rubbing against the teeth and gums.[1][4] Additionally, as with many piercings, infection is a risk, especially if the jewelry is not made of hypoallergenic material.[5] The risk of jewelry migration is particularly high for lip frenulum piercings because the tissue of the lip frenulum is very thin and its area very small.[1]
